SugarTree offers pick of sweet store spaces.

The big SugarTree Lane commercial and residential development, occupying an Auckland city block bounded by Union, Cook and Nelson Sts, has progressed to the point where tenants are being sought for retail units.

"With over 30 units ranging from 29sq to 450sq m there are plenty for retailers and hospitality businesses to select from," says Mark Wyness, retail project manager for SugarTree.

"Already the new Cookie Cafe has opened up along with the Spanish tapas bar Pepitos which is bringing a taste of Madrid to our new residents.

"We have also secured a top tier childcare operator to be licensed for 60 children with fit-out being undertaken now for occupation next year."
